On December 11, 2015 the Center of Studies in Informatics Law, University of Chile’s Law School will host the second pubic symposium on “International Regulatory Trends on Personal Data Protection” as a Network of Centers (NoC) regional event. The event convenes a diverse group of collaborators working on Internet & society issues in Chile, the surrounding region, and internationally.

This session examines privacy issues that emerge in the relationship between user’s companies and governments that collect, aggregate, analyse, and use data how personal data. Automated data collection processes in the era of big data confront the rights and the expectations of the data title holders. It is relevant to explore the ways in which information is created, shared, accessed, and used in the globalized digital world in which new cloud platform systems have globalized international data traffic. This might call for new instruments or even concepts for data protection.

11:00 - 11.30 Coffee Break

11:30 - 12:30 Session II: Online Child Safety.

A growing body of evidence from across the world is telling us that young people are more and more relying on digital tools, platforms and services to learn, participate, play, innovate, work, and socialize. For its part, the Internet has connected and helped to empower youth around the world, offering them novel opportunities for self-expression, creativity, learning, and civic engagement. Simultaneously, governments, business leaders, educators, policy-makers, parents, and other stakeholders engage in conversations about how to keep young people safe online. In order to be relevant and effective, evidence-based private and public policies aimed at protecting youth must consider rapidly evolving youth practices, attitudes, and behaviours, and learn from such insights when assessing both risks and harms, and the benefits in the digital age. The idea of this session it’s to present some of our latest research focused on youth and online privacy, and discuss how key findings can be applied in the context of “online child safety".

Keynote Speaker: Sandra Cortesi Fellow at the Berkman Center and the Director of Youth and Media

15:00 - 16:00 Session III. What Privacy Rights May be Involved with Cybersecurity

Privacy interest in cybersecurity involves establishing protocols and effective oversight regarding when, why, and how government agencies may gain access to personal information that is collected, retained, used, or shared. Fair information practices regulate and enforce consumer privacy rights regarding data collection, retention, use, and sharing of personal information. Technological developments associated with the new digital era make it easier than ever for governments to collect, store and process personal information on a massive scale. While governments will continue to rely on personal data to provide security and other benefits, there is a need for approaches and frameworks that enhance privacy by limiting the uses of such data and creating transparency into what is collected and how it is used.

About our Events

The Network of Centers hosts a range of global events from conferences to small meetings and workshops. NoC hosts consider an adaptable three­part approach in terms of format.

First, host institutions present a regional or thematic lead for the event, thereby providing Network partners with the unique insights of a specific Center or within a specific geographic area.

Second, every NoC event builds on the findings of the theme or region, with an eye toward mapping the field of global Internet and society research.

Third and last, each NoC event should have an organizational or administrative Network level piece, where participants might discuss the practical aspects of mapping efforts, organize joint teaching efforts or the like. As such, this last element is the part where direct Network involvement is strongest. Network of Centers events have been held all over the world — in Germany, Turkey, Brazil, and more.

About the NoC
